Thanks for your kind words. I think it is a Scottish Highlander. I may be wrong though. I also commented to your comment at Flickr and included some other photos, also of wild horses. These were taken with the D800E (with an old 70-210 lens) so I can't add them here.

Similar to Peter's Calloway Cattle, here's a Scottish Highlander, on a small semi-natural island in one of the busiest riverways of Europe (the Meuse in Rotterdam). It's part of an experiment where I'm trying to create full-sized stitched panoramas (with shallow DOF if I want) using a single quick sweep in continuous drive mode to minimize subject movement between shots - more explanation at Experiment: high-speed version of Brenizer method

Thanks Bart for mentioning the right name of the animal in my photo, which was also definitely a Scottish Highlander! I looked for the name combined with this area and the wrong name showed up! Must have be part of the same experiment as yours (I live a bit further up north).

I thought they had some kind of Scots background! There's something very appealing about them. Perhaps it's that the remind me of giant stuffed animals...the cuddly kind. I think I've spotted some around my new neck of the woods up here in northwestern Connecticut.
